zionist forever   (11.26.09)
Hopefully the muslim population will continue to shrink and the jewsh population grow.
2. Ssshhh......................
The 11th Man ,   London   (11.26.09)
3. #1 what a rascist comment
Avi ,   Israel   (11.26.09)
What a rascist comment, its people like you who seem to think its a competition to bring unwanted children in to this world, the results of which we have seen from the child abuse cases in the charedi sector.
4. superb news !
shu ,   SURREY UK   (11.26.09)
5. You Missed The Highest Birthrate In Israel: Religious Jews
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (11.26.09)
The chareidim and the religious Jews in Judea and Samaria's birthrate far exceeds the Arabs. Don't worry.
6. to #3 your tax money support their children

7. 3
Ilan ,   Israel   (11.26.09)
who said their unwanted? you hate anything that is related to religion - and you want everyone to accept how you think - don't forget this is a Jewish country - and if your not like it so leave
8. ONLY THE NATURAL IMPACT !
BENJAMIN ,   SINGAPORE   (11.26.09)
TO MUCH OF SELF - IMPOSED VIOLANCE AMONG PALS ! THERE ARE MANY DECENT MUSLIMS IN GAZA, JUST DONT SHUT THE DOORS ON THESE FAMILIES. YOU GOT TO BUILD THESE DECENT MUSLIM FAMILIES ! TO THE MUSLIMS- WE WISH YOU A GOOD Eid al-Adha IN WEEKS WE WILL CELEBRATE CHANUKKAH :-) BEN SINGAPORE
9. Good news but ...
David ,   Paris, france   (11.26.09)
The problem is that only religious jews make children, and generally they don't go to work. So it's good to avoid being overwhelmed by muslims but it would be suitable that they go to work too or that non-religious jews make more children too.
10. Sneaky Zionists
John ,   Canada   (11.26.09)
Have you been spiking their water supply with contraceptives? Woldn't be surprised.
11. When will the Jews learn?
Anon ,   Johannesburg   (11.26.09)
Democracy is not working for Israel. Huge sums of Tax money goes to Muslim Bedoin Famlies in the South of Israel. they have an average of 6.7 kids, and live off the state. They dont care much for the Israeli-Pal problem, rather for them each kid brings in a few thoudand more shekels. Its time the people of Israel stop supporting families larger then 3 kids, weather Jewish or Moslem. Too many kids means fanatical, extreme, backward ... and ultimatly . .. not enough money for a good education. Crime in the south of Israel much higher then the rest of Israel. FACT
12. 510 000 kids uder 14
King David ,   Savyon   (11.26.09)
time to organise them a good education and a bright future in Dubai??? A-Shame all those empty skyscrapers, they can fill them up with Israeli Moslems - im sure if they declare asylum they will be let in?? Or dont they want to declare asylum? Is life in the Jewish state that good to our fellow Arab Israeli's. Tell the world the truth - Israel is not as bad as seen on TV
13. Yes, and less than 1% are LOYAL Israeli citizens, the rest
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.26.09)
would help the arabs destroy Israel if they could.
14. Email 11# is the best
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (11.26.09)
I live in Northern Israel and I have two baby daughters. G-d wiiling we will have one more child. Most of my neighbours also have 2, 3 or 4 children at most. This includes both my Jewish neighbours and Muslim neighbours. The problem is exactly what talkback 11# says. It is the Bedouins in the South of the country who practise polygamy and have 5 to 10 children. The more children they have the more Bituach Leumi payments they get each month.
15. Why is it racist Avi?
Kate ,   ISRAEL   (11.26.09)
zionist for ever is right.Nothing to do with racism but DEMOGRAPHICS. They breed like rabbits which is a problem for Israel.So,the less they procreate the better not only for them wo have to feed,clothe and maintain their economy/education .The world is trying to reduce the POPULATION EXPLOSION,and here you are making excuses and accusations. I for one agree with zionist for ever. Bear in mind Avi,they are comparing the phenomenon with other Muslim states which should RING ALARM BELLS for you.It is only in Israel that the arabs are muliplying as high a number.Funny if it wasn't obvious. you must be living in la-la-land Avi, arafat the rat had said it,by announcing :Our women have prolific WOMBS,and that will be a threat to Israel.This was from the horses mouth.
16. Yishai Kohen May they flourish and..
Kate ,   ISRAEL   (11.26.09)
And continue to produce many a good looking lovely children fo rour Israel.(AMEN and haleluyah) I have said it many times as a reminder when some bring in the subject of demographics.WE HAVE OUR ORTHODOX JEWS to make up for the seculars who although want to have more than 3 children are obliged not to owing to economic circumstances.I should know for my sister-in-law would have loved to have more than the three she has.
17. To David# 9Who says they do not work?
James ,   Israel   (11.26.09)
Not only the religious Jews work,they also serve in the military with distinction. if there are some you think don't they are most probably in the minority. In any case they have to eat don't they?of course even the ones you are accusing of not working is BS. They have to work to eat, schools,clothing their children etc.Our Govt,most certainly cannot afford to do the things I mentioned. Some people who post have the misconception on real things on the ground.
18. to 10; Donald Boström will find it
smith   (11.26.09)
He is "fair" and he work the "True"
19. #1 market slow down
zyad abu zaydoon ,   palestine / ramallah   (11.26.09)
Don't Worry Your Self Man . As Soon As The Stock Market Goes Up So Will The Muslim Brithrate.. As muslim from palestine i always wanted to know why judaism one of oldest religions in the world is only around 14 million ppl . ? and im not trying to be funny about it .
20. Good News.
avraham ,   nyc   (11.26.09)
21. #3 To bad your parents couldn't have found a way NOT2bring
you in the world. ,   How disappointing!   (11.26.09)
22. #19
Sandra ,   Tel Aviv   (11.26.09)
Because the Jewish people is about quality and not quantity?
23. Understanable Anon @11 Then I say:
Kate ,   ISRAEL   (11.26.09)
I say the Government IS AN ASS. By paying these large sums to the Beduines they are taking the money out of our really starving Jewish children's mouths.And that I call STUPIDITY. How does our Govt justify this phenomenon? I know the Bedoes serve in our military,but they also act as enemies witin many a time. So,what should be done about it,unless thejJwish population rises up,complains bittely to stop this malfunction of the present situation. G*D six seven children per family?Not counting the parents,unblievable chutzpa by the recipients and the GIVERS the Israeli leaders. As far as I'm aware they also enjoy drug traffiking,plus using the prohibitive substance which exacerbates CRIME.and spreads to our equally poor Jews to indulge in their mode of life.At this rate our country will be going down THE SLIPPERY SLOP. But I am talking to myself so are the both of you(JUDAH )&Anon.
24. To King David @12 Just think eh?
Kate ,   ISRAEL   (11.26.09)
All those lavish living in those Arab countries where the populations come on tourist visits and the splendour of the buildings(all be it rather garish)But all the Arab countried have the wherewithal to do so much,or done it ages ago ha? Bu having said it many times it is not convenient for them to help.Because it would mean they will not be "PAWNS" any more.And that is what keeps them from proffering help.Selfish B.....D!
25. Ya zyad abu #19 Wrong felah..
James ,   Israel   (11.26.09)
Big is not allways beautiful.Therefore no matter how much you try to procreate,there's a limit. You will be the ones to suffer. Even good old and advanced country such as China decided to limit two children per family maximum.Are you putting your puny self on a par with the ancient and great China? Israel may be only 14 million but what is important is not QUANTITY,BUT QUALITY ya achi Nor am I being FUNNY EITHER.
26. #25 Very good point but.......
zyad abu zaydoon ,   ramallah/ palestine   (11.26.09)
I can agree about about the poor quality in the arab world , dont get me wrong im a pround arab and theres needs to be approvements many of them but im 25 and i have 3 boys who are the joy of my life . but if i can aford to have more why not . but if u ask me for a religon that has been around over 3000 years still should be more then 14 mil even if the quality is 100% .
27. zyad abu @ 26, you are asking interesting
leo ,   usa   (11.26.09)
question. Maybe if there was little bit less of repression and genocide against Jews there could've been more, but it is what it is. Another problem, many Jews decide to forget they are and that cuts numbers down too. I wonder if we got to pre-war levels yet. Well, this is my semi-scientific speculation. Accept it or reject it, your choice.
28. #19, 26
observer   (11.26.09)
Jews were 2-3 million at the time of exodus and that shows how their temporal growth rate is too law too slow.
29. 26#,blame the Romans
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (11.26.09)
Almost 2,000 years ago most the Jewish people in the holyland were either killed or expelled or sold into slavery by the Romans. If this catastrophie did not occur then I am sure that there would be at least 100 miilion Jews if not more. The present 13 to 14 million is a very sad number and many are not "quality Jews".
30. #3 Avi I didn't know that Islam was a race
Wonderer   (11.27.09)
from what i see you must be an idiot or full of hate by the comments you make here.
